Using Photoimpressions crashes my computer.
I uninstalled OVT Scanner and Photoimpressions - then reinstalled first the Drivers, and next the software.
An error message to the effect that OVTBoot.dll could not be found. The system recognizes the OVT scanner, and Device Manager says the hadware is working normally - but photo impressions works UNTIL I try to aquire pictures from scanner.
My scanner model is FS-C1-VP

OK so I can't find the file OVTBoot.dll on the installation disk or on my computer. where can I obtain the DLL file?OK so I can't find the file OVTBoot.dll on the installation disk or on my computer. where can I obtain the DLL file?

It seems that the scanner protion of the drivers are corrupted. Please do the following:

1. Disconnect the all in one.2. Go to Start->COntrol Panel->Add Remove Programs.3. Uninstall the All in One.4. Reboot the computer/laptop5. Once rebooted, reinstall the drivers from the CD that came with the device.6. When finished reinstalling, Connect the device again.7. Allow Windows time to detect the device and load up its drivers.8. Windows will tell you in the right bottom corner that "New Hw is ready to be used".9. Start using the device.

We suffered this initially on a new laptop with Windows 7. I can't tell if the driver on the Vupoint website has been updated, or is the old XP/Vista driver, but we installed this (1/2011). In Picasa or the Photoimpressions software which comes with the scanner, we were then only able to acquire solid black images. However, when we tried all of the USB ports on the computer, we found that one of them (a USB2 rather than USB1 port) was able to function like normal. We suspect there is a funny issue with the amount of power going to the scanner from different USB ports, and maybe this interacts with the driver in some way.

For a scanner driver it should not matter whether you have XP Home or XP Pro. Most probably there's a simple problem with the disc. You can ask the vendor for a replacement disc, or go to manufacturer's website and find downloadable drivers & software there. However, on the website there may not be the full software set available, as usually scanners come with some bundled extra 3rd party software that cannot be made available online by the manufacturer for everyone to download.The essential thing is to install the drivers properly, the other bells & whistles are not needed, you can use applications either built into the system, or available free online for image scanning and manipulation.

This often happens because Image Copier installation must be done in exact order as described in the instruction manual. To fix the problem you need to uninstall and reinstall everything back in right order.Also remember to restart the system when required.

During installation ensure that you authorize the system changes when asked. If possible disable any security software.

If that does not fix the problem, then the registry must be cleaned of any entry related to the scanner software. This is rather difficult to be done manual. You can try doing a system restore to a recent date before the problem started after uninstalling everything, and then uninstalling again if needed (application and scanner are there after SR), and finally reinstalling everything in order. If that does not work you can try a registry cleaner or reinstall the system.

Check to see that your Scanner drivers have been installed. Click on Start, then Printers and Faxes and see if a Scanner is listed. If not, you need to install the drivers.

Also, when you uninstall the printer drivers, you first need to disconnect the printer from the computer, and unplug the printer from the power source. Leave the printer unplugged for at least 15 minutes to clear the printer's cache memory.

Next, go to Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel and uninstall the printer software. Then, turn off your computer.

Next, reboot your computer. Place the Deskjet cd in the drive and follow instructions for reinstalling the printer software and drivers.
